Sport Huancayo form and stats
The visitors are W2-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Primera Division. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Huancayo are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Impressive finishing from Ronal Huacca, Charles Monsalvo, Daniel Morales and Victor Balta secured the home win 4-3 against Universidad San Martín in their previous game. Prior to that result Huancayo won their away game at Academia Cantolao. The scoreline was 3-1.
An amazing comeback from Sport Huancayo last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to Victor Balta scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute. As you can tell from the result, the match against Universidad San Martín was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
A quick return to home after this game, as Huancayo are hosting Academia Cantolao in the Primera Division only four days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Huancayo as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Huancayo have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
